Now playing: Seven video teleconference Seacoast OA meetings each week

Posted on by

Thanks to Seacoast OA members Anne C., Emily K., Susan L., and Venture D., we now have seven regular video teleconference meetings. All will recur weekly until the crisis is past, and we can once again meet face-to-face. Currently only the Friday morning York meeting convenes in person.

Seacoast Intergroup will conduct a special collaboration with Southern Maine Intergroup on January 8th at 9:15 AM ET. Join us to see how our Intergroup’s can work together to spread the message. Here’s the Zoom information that you can use for all Intergroup meetings: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8908317169?pwd=Tlc5NHpCVllDQnZ0U3J4b2l0YnVFUT09, meeting ID 890 831 7169.

Here’s how to attend a Zoom meeting and participate virtually.
If you already have the Zoom teleconferencing app on your computer/tablet/smartphone…
1) Click on the appropriate link above a couple minutes before the start time and join
2) Remember to remain on mute during the meeting itself unless you are sharing
3) Use the chatbox feature to share numbers, indicate you can sponsor, or just be supportive.
If you don’t already have Zoom’s FREE video-conferencing app…
1) You need an active internet connection
2) You need an internet-enabled device such as computer, tablet, or smartphone.
3) Click on the link at about 5:50 to get everything installed and ready prior to the meeting’s start.
4) You’ll be prompted to download and install the app. Do so.
5) Once the app is installed, you’ll be prompted to join the meeting: Do so. It’s OK if you’re early or late, you’ll be able to join.
6) Once you join, you have the option of being on camera or not. Toggle the little camera icon near the bottom left of the Zoom screen to turn it on or off. You’ll still be able to see/hear everyone else if the camera is off.
7) You will arrive into the meeting on mute. You can mute/unmute your microphone using the little microphone icon located near the camera icon. Please mute when you are not sharing.
8) If you have any questions, please use the chat feature in the row of icons at the bottom rather than interrupt the meeting by voice.
Zoom is very easy to use and will require just a few minutes to settle into. See you online!
